Video Tutorial – The Hazard Function is the Probability Density Function Divided by the Survival Function

In an earlier video, I introduced the definition of the hazard function and broke it down into its mathematical components. Recall that the definition of the hazard function for events defined on a continuous time scale is

.

Did you know that the hazard function can be expressed as the probability density function (PDF) divided by the survival function?

In my new Youtube video, I prove how this relationship can be obtained from the definition of the hazard function! I am very excited to post this second video in my new Youtube channel. You can also view the video below the fold!
